Yak Attack Omega Pro Rod Holder

Yak Attack Omega Pro Rod Holder

Description

The Yak Attack Omega Pro Universal Fishing Rod Holder - RHM-1002 is an excellent addition to any fishing gear. It features an extension arm that allows you to raise the reel higher off the water or accommodate longer rod butts.

This rod holder attaches to a kayak, boat, or other watercraft easily and securely with the LockNLoad mounting system. The LockNLoad track base provides unparalleled track mount security and adjustability with its patent-pending design. Once attached with a single MightyBolt, the holder will not rotate or loosen, even when experiencing a big hit from a trolling rod.

There are three modes available: locked, adjustment, and removal. Switching between modes is simple and intuitive using the squeeze lever:

- From locked mode, squeeze the lever to enter adjustment mode.

- In adjustment mode, the mount can be rotated in any direction without being removed, ensuring the rod holder remains secure even if a fish strikes. Release the lever to return to locked mode.

- To enter removal mode, flip the lever out, and the system will easily slide off the track mount.

The Yak Attack Omega Pro Universal Fishing Rod Holder works flawlessly with various types of reels, including spinning, casting, larger conventional reels, and even fly rods of all sizes. It allows spinning reels to be stowed naturally downward, enhancing convenience and safety.

The 360-degree rotating collar offers quick and secure rod placement by capturing the reel. Anglers can easily stage rods for quick access or lock them in for maximum security using the multiple available modes.

Please note that the GearTrac/Rod is not included with the rod holder.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions:

- I'm curious how sturdy the rod holder is, as I'm looking to do some trolling for salmon in my kayak, and the strikes can get pretty crazy sometimes.
This rod holder is pretty sturdy. Although it may appear bulky, it offers excellent quality. Some users have even removed the middle arm for a lower sitting position in front of them.

- Does this work with the MightMount track?
Yes, the Yak Attack Omega Pro Universal Fishing Rod Holder is compatible with the MightMount track. It will work seamlessly with this smaller surface gear track.

- Can this be installed on a Hobie Pro Angler with an H Rail?
The rod holder needs to be attached to the slide track. If you have a newer Hobie Pro Angler with the "slide track" on the black side panels, it can be attached there. However, if you prefer to attach it to the H Rail, you'll need the H Rail adapter made by Yak Attack. Simply search for "Hobie Mighty Mount for Hobie H-Rail - 84620153."

- Will this fit the track on a Perception fishing kayak? Yes, this rod holder should fit any gear track, including the one on a Perception fishing kayak.
